How much cheaper is outsourced printing compared to in-house?

Savings vary by volume and product, but for most businesses outsourcing lands meaningfully below the true cost of running an office printer once you count everything, not just the paper.

• Many businesses save roughly 30 to 60 percent per piece by outsourcing.
• You skip equipment purchases, maintenance, and repairs.
• You stop buying ink, toner, and paper inventory.
• You reclaim the labor hours spent running and troubleshooting printers.
• Per-unit cost drops even further at higher quantities because commercial presses are built for volume.

The bigger the run and the more finishing it needs, the wider the gap in favor of outsourcing.
